Club career

Santos

Born in Carmópolis, Sergipe, Victor Andrade joined Vitória's youth setup in 2005, aged 10. A year later he moved to Benfica in a trial basis, remaining in the club for a couple of months and appearing in youth tournaments with the Lisbon club. Due to his age, however, he returned to Brazil and signed for Santos in 2007. ^[1]

In October 2011 he signed a three-year deal with Santos, with a buyout clause set at €50 million. ^[2] Touted as a next Neymar by the media, ^[3] he made his professional – and Série A – debut for Santos on 6 June 2012, aged only 16, replacing Alan Kardec in a 1–1 home draw against Fluminense. ^[4] He went on to score 3 goals in 19 matches in his first season, most notably in a 2–0 home success against Cruzeiro where scored the first and assist another, receiving praise from Muricy Ramalho and Neymar for his performance. ^[5]

Benfica

Andrade appeared rarely in the following campaigns, and opted not to renew his contract with Santos. ^[6] On 11 July 2014, he returned to Benfica, the incumbent title holders, penning a six-year contract and being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Liga. ^[7] He made his debut on 17 September 2014, replacing Gonçalo Guedes on the 87th minute in a 2–2 home draw with Atlético CP. ^[8] He scored his first goal on 5 October 2014, netting his side's second in a 2–2 away draw against Feirense, ^[9] and ended the season with 32 appearances and four goals, including one to Porto B on 17 May 2015. ^{[10] [11]}

In 2015–16, Andrade remained assigned to Benfica B; ^[12] until he received a call-up by Rui Vitória for the match against Estoril on 16 August. ^[13] He made his debut for the first team against them and assisted Jonas for the 3–0 and also took part in the fourth goal, scored by Nélson Semedo. ^[14] He played again against Arouca, ^[15] and Moreirense, ^[16] but was soon dropped again to the reserve team, as Rui Vitória favoured Gonçalo Guedes for his position. ^[17] On 31 October, Benfica disclosed on their annual financial report, that Andrade had cost €3.94 million, mostly on agent fees. ^[18] On 1 February 2016, he joined Vitória de Guimarães on loan until the end of the season. ^[19] Five days later, he made his debut with Guimarães, ^[20] and on 20 March, started his first game for them. ^[21] In April, he was briefly assigned to Vitória Guimarães B. ^[22] In June 2016, Andrade went on his second loan spell, joining German club 1860 Munich on a season-long deal. ^[23] On 27 October, he sustained a cruciate ligament rupture to his left knee and was sidelined for six months. ^[24] He was only fit to play again in May 2017. ^[25]

Estoril

On 29 August 2017, Andrade moved to Estoril, penning a three-year deal. ^[26] A year later, he returned to Brazil to play for Chapecoense, on a one-year loan deal. ^[27]

Back to Brazil

On 22 January 2020, after six months without playing at Estoril, Andrade joined Goiás back in his home country. ^[28] In December, after being rarely used, he left, ^[29] and moved to South Korean side Suwon FC on 26 February 2021. ^[30]

On 26 June 2021, after just two matches for Suwon, Andrade moved to Série B side Remo. ^[31] Regularly used, he cut short his link on 20 November, ^[32] and signed for fellow league team Vila Nova on 24 January 2022. ^[33]

Andrade suffered another knee injury on 4 June 2022, being sidelined for the remainder of the year. ^[34] Back to action only in May 2023, he featured rarely before rescinding his contract on 19 June; ^[35] on 5 July, he agreed to a deal with Juventude also in the second division. ^[36]

On 4 November 2023, after only 11 matches, Andrade terminated his contract with Ju, ^[37] and moved to Portuguesa for the 2024 Campeonato Paulista twenty days later. ^[38]
